Hi, the grinder is awesome! May I know the brand of this big grinder? who can i contact with if i interest in this kind of machine dealing with high moisture corn? thanks so much!
Rockin H Farm Toys you said earlier that 12'000 acres was harvested to fill one bunker or all of them.and I take it that this is used for feed on the feedlot and is it used on its own or mixed with other forage.
@@aledjones5083 The bunkers hold between 300,000 and 600,000 bushels of corn. I think it is noted in the video. This corn is mixed as part of a ration which can include a variety of hay, alfalfa and silage. At capacity this feedyard can hold 52,000 head which is typical in Kansas.
I've heard that comment before and I asked a foreman if there was a better way. He mentioned that presently this systems allows flexibility to stock pile when the mills are not running and handles the volume during the season. Thanks for the comment.
Get a new foreman, Quick. What's wrong with truck to conveyer, to middle of bunker. That's how we store grain in Australia. You don't need any tractors. That's like watching a comedy.
The whole corn is all rolled in the mill to break the kernel. This allows the cattle's stomach to better utilize the nutritional value without steam flaking which some feed yards here do. The tractor are doing two jobs, 1, making a pile, 2, compressing the corn removing air from the pile. This allows the corn the ferment and store for longer periods of time.
The corn is "rolled" before going into the pile. What happens is the corn is cracked open making the nutrients available to the rumen. Some feedyards take whole corn and stock pile then steam flake it to again, make the nutrients available. There is quite a variety in the ways different yards handle the corn.
Brainmalfunction. yes if you just was interested in piling it up, they could do like they do with say sugarbeets-potatos,, a big conveyer piling it up,,,, REASON they use heavy tractors to push it up + other heavy tractors to drive back and fort over it,,, is to COMPACT IT AND AVOID AIRPOCKETS... When they then seal it with plastic the bacterias eat up the oxygen left and it turns stable, like silage, even in varm weather IF they just pile it up without compacting it, it could turn moldy, and the cows wouldnt eat it!!!!!!!! even normal corn silage ore gras silage can mold ore turn to black dirt if it gets to much oxygen.
yes why are the not just dumping the corn down into a cone crusher after they was going over the scale and then let the cone crusher feed a moving conveyor belt but nice video non the less :-)
I think it has to do with using existing structures. With 5 different bunkers the mills can be moved around to fit the best needs at the moment. Plus, on days when the employees cannot keep up with the trucks or something goes wrong, corn can be stock piled and rolled at a later when they can get to. Then trucks can continue to deliver corn so farmers can be paid. I am only speculating based on conversations I have had.
Rockin H Farm Toys you may be right i do not know, i was just thinking that when i saw the video but then again if you had a overhanging moving conveyor belt over each silo that could move in both a sideways motion from silo to silo and in the total length of the silo too, but it is had for me to put into writing when it is just a big picture i got in my head how it would look like and English is my 3. language :-) but i love to try to enplane what i mean :-) i do believe that a lot of money could be saved
Each year I go out I visit with the foreman and he says this is light years faster than years previous. In the past they would grind corn all night light long to keep up with the corn coming in. Now they can shut down by 8 PM without work to do the next day. Thanks for the comment.
According to the fellows that work there, they are much happier with this system than prior methods. They do not have to work all night as the mills can keep up better with the volume of corn coming in.
Nice video. Hauled to Adams Feedlot in Broken Bow, NE and they take in over 6 million bushels. One heck of an operation.
Thanks Heath. Sure is fun seeing all the machines. It would be cool to get to the lot you haul into. Thanks for the comment.
Some real big equipment! awesome to see.
Pretty cool. I love seeing this work happen.
Waw what an operation what state is this.would be very interesting to go and see.
This is near Dodge City Kansas. A common practice in the plains states.
Good video

who makes those U-Blades???

Cani ask you please as we are not so use to bushels over here how many bushels in a ton. Sorry but I find this proces very interesting.thank you
No worries. Assuming a test weight of 60lbs per bushel, that would be 33 bushels per ton.
This corn is harvested at 24% moisture so it may ferment once packed.
Rockin H Farm Toys you said earlier that 12'000 acres was harvested to fill one bunker or all of them.and I take it that this is used for feed on the feedlot and is it used on its own or mixed with other forage.
Am I correct in thinking that is about 80'000 tons

Sorry😅😂
Thanks great stuff.
Thanks for video how meny combines feeding the mill Dont know if any one does this in South Africa Send more videos
PJ, this corn comes to this yard from 60 miles or 96 km away. Multiple combines are picking. More videos are the way. Thanks for asking.
How many acres to fill one bunker.
12,000 or so I'd wager.
That's amazingly INEFFICENT. Moved and moved and moved again.
I cannot believe my eyes.

Jason I am on sure about the manufacturer of the blade. I'd suggest a call the yard. Thanks for asking.
Rockin H Farm Toys May i know the name of that yard? or would you mind share the contacts? thanks!

why can't that shovel carry it straight to the pile.......or why can't the trucks tip directly in front so it can be dozed in

Interesting that they use tractors to hill the product, instead of a conveyor system.

how big is the farm ??
I'm not sure but thanks for asking.
И после всего этого нам продают зерно и муку, и готовую выпечку, а мы всё это едим! Сколько грязи мы съедаем за день?
The last 5mins.. 3 tractors is a bit overkill
Cyprus 125 all three tractors are needed to get a good pack on the pile. All the oxygen must be compressed out of the pile for it to ferment good.
otter blades think.
superrr
to many big machines in my opinion ,,dont get me wrong i love this but the processing could be much cheaper if u ask me

Such a inefficient operation
